Congestion: 64

Playability notes: Vanilla Doom, nothing special required. MAP14 can be completed, just give it time.

Congestion: 64 is difficult to rate for me because I tend to rate solely on gameplay, whereas this mapset is, by design, a satirical piece rather than a set of things-to-be-played. The whole thing is over in 15 minutes, if that. I think it serves its purpose well, though nothing exceptional enough to recommend as a must-play.

As the name implies (and in contrast to Congestion 1024) this is a set of 32 maps where each map fits in a 64x64 square: no extra scenery, no monsters outside, just the player inside a box that would, at best, fit 4 players. It was released on idgames a mere five days after Congestion 1024, most likely as a parody of limiting mappers to an arbitrary square. Having played through that set myself, I can understand the sentiment.

Needless to say, there is virtually no move to move, and most maps are solved simply by turning around and pressing switches. This said, each map has a uniqueness to it, and there is a clear indication of care put into the set, limited as it may be. After the first few maps, I found myself curious as to what would occur in the next map, and was entertained for the brief period it lasted.

If you're still interested even after reading this, give it a go. If not, spend those 15 minutes elsewhere.
